Another form would be "I'm lost, so I'll follow another car." These kinds of damage-limiting default actions (when actions are *required*) need not be paralyzing and failing to take them when forced involves some other explanation, like a malfunction or lack of awareness of the available default actions, i.e. lack of awareness of the general properties of the current environment.
